MOSCOW, November 1. /TASS/. Riots in Europe are rooted in Europe’s irresponsible rejection of Russian gas, which entails a dramatic growth of energy prices, Russian president’s special envoy for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries and CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) Kirill Dmitriev said.

"As predicted, higher EU energy prices from the irresponsible decoupling from Russian gas mean deindustrialization, riots and looting. This causal relationship is additionally fueled by suicidal migration policies and EU bureaucrats' stubborn resistance to correcting mistake," he wrote on X and attached a BBC news article stating that protests in Germany against the rising cost of living are escalating into riots.
